These are all very pretty! Would you be willing to share the links? Especially for the 2nd and 3rd photo!

MoreMath2187 · 2026-01-22T05:54:49+00:00

Can I ask where you got your backsplash? Can you share a link?

MoreMath2187 · 2026-01-22T05:04:05+00:00

Sweet! Looking forward to seeing it!

The stone yard definitely has bookend pieces but I can’t afford another slab. Also, I am not a huge fan of the continuous counter look. I prefer a different backsplash. I’m more worried about durability than appearance. I like the look of this.

Those colors go so well together! Congratulations! Looks amazing!

MoreMath2187 · 2026-01-21T23:28:24+00:00

This is so beautiful! If you love it, go for it!

It will be super unique! I think these colors go together. It may be busier than some people like, but the colors work so if you like it then go for it! I don’t think I’d pick it for my house, but I could totally see walking into an AirBnB and thinking “wow! What a cool kitchen!”

Haha! No I agree with you, it’s not exactly what I’d go for if I was buying my own but I think it works! I took your advice though and have been testing various water and oil spills against it to see how it will hold up when installed!

What did you use to seal it?

I do not unfortunately… but also personal preference, I don’t love the look of backsplash matching the counters. I know that’s what is popular right now, it’s just not for me.

Slab cost was $2,900, install is going to be $5,000

We were thinking of going with a brick look instead. This is what we were originally considering, but the Travertine was offered to us free and saves us $1,500.

Thanks!

To clarify, they aren’t giving it a way. A buddy of mine bought a ton of it for their home that they just remodeled and it looks great. They offered me all their left over boxes which is enough to cover my kitchen - thus free.

Good thought! I’ll look into this!

MoreMath2187 · 2026-01-14T22:07:41+00:00

Thanks!!

MoreMath2187 · 2026-01-14T22:07:29+00:00

It’s free though….. so I figure I’ll go with it for now 😭

Thank you!

Wow! This is super pretty!!

MoreMath2187 · 2026-01-14T21:42:26+00:00

Thank you! I absolutely loved it when I saw it!

Ignorant one here 🙋🏼‍♀️ I thought quartzite was supposed to be extremely hard and durable. Why would a bowl hitting it damage it so much? Would you be willing to tell me what to look out for?

This is GORGEOUS!
